For every negative post about Bethesda's game performance Todd will take away 1 frame per second from Starfield.

I love multiplayer games in theory but in practice I don't have the time/will to get good enough at them for it to be fun.

I just like playing ones where I can play with others but against AI bots.

Yeah I still play multiplayer, I am tragically hooked on mil FPSes like battlefield and CoD but I now hit a point where I am like "fuuuuuuuuuuuuck this!" and just quit out for the day if I'm having a lovely round. I would way rather just play bots that would have a decent, fair, skill level.

I’d be cool with Starfield having a locked 40 fps in 120Hz mode, but for some reason MS doesn’t seem interested in ever doing that

We all know for a fact that Starfield will suck due to all of the other Bethesda games that suck.

And we can authoritively say they sucked because we have a minimum of 500 hours in each of them.

I know Skyrim gets a lot of hate on but I have probably about 300 hours into it, and it's the only sword and sorcery type RPG I've ever put anywhere near that much time into. Over a few playthroughs I found totally different stuff and it's just wild how much there was to do in that game. If Starfield can get even 50% of that it'll be something I'll be playing a LOT, because I'm way more of a sci fi nerd than a fantasy nerd.

It does get hate but that does need to come with a caveat that it's modern hate because it's so old and has been beat to death over and over. When it was new and fresh is was absolutely amazing. I know someone who put thousands and thousands of hours into Skyrim without ever doing the main quest just because he liked making new characters and then existing in the world as them.

Skyrim didn’t suck at all? It was a top 5 RPG ever for me (I first played it in 2015 with a ton of fan made mods and fixes and all the patches)

If it was gonna be 60 they'd just say that, it's very obviously going to be 30.

If they pace it well like Forza Horizon that's just fine, but Todd Howard's Bethesda probably won't do that.

how would you pace a bethesda game whose entire point is going and doing stuff at your own pace be paced like a racing game?

I dunno, there's a bunch of people who have negatively rated the game on Steam who have hundreds of hours played after their review. A lot of gamers are just crazy people.

Talking about framepacing. Even, consistent intervals between frames, which makes lower framerates look much better than they otherwise would.

This is correct, the people hating on Skyrim are those who would rather play a 20 year old Bethesda RPG instead of a 10 year old one

nah, most complaints boil down to
>I don't have a romance system ala mass effect/witcher 3
or
>combat isn't as realistic as Dark Souls.

The people who have been playing morrowind have moved on to Tamriel Rebuilt or are waiting for skywind/beyond skyrim to come out.

I enjoyed Skyrim combat a lot although my one beef was that destruction magic seemed really underpowered especially compared to the devastation you could do with a bow and arrow. Thankfully mods fixed that!

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

"Elder Scrolls games suck!" I scream as I install it for the 29th time for another play through.

Also tbh if the Series X is Starfield on High detail settings and the S is on Medium then that's fine, and what I expect. What kind of whiny baby would give a poo poo?
